Artist Statement

 My work gestates in the space between the dream world and our experience of history, memory, and propaganda narratives. Here spirits play at the edges of the psyche, born out of anxiety, whimsy, spiritual yearning, and sexual fantasy. I seek to project vibrations that echo our disorganized and unfocused consciousness, and murmur with the promise of stranger forms yet to be conceived.
